> But nobody made the “laws” that the U.S. pretends to enforce on the international stage. You're setting the bar pretty high. Some "law" simply evolves, by custom and practice, without any formal enactment by anyone. One example that comes to mind is (maritime) anti-piracy law. Keep in mind that, unless I'm very much mistaken, American extraterritorial law is fundamentally grounded on, "if you want access to our country, financial system, etc., then you gotta follow our rules — and not necessarily just while you're within our geographic borders. You pays your money and you takes your choice." BTW, the U.S. didn't invade Rwanda at all, to save the Tutsis or otherwise.
